State:  Louisiana

Ararat, Calcasieu
Ebenezer, Acadia
Eden, La Salle
Nebo, La Salle

Tribal Associations of the Names: Louisiana
Ararat = Manasseh
Ebenezer = Eben Ha-ezer ("The Stone of My Assistance") appears to have been in the territory of Ephraim near the border with Manasseh.
Nebo = Reuben
Louisiana shows Manasseh and Ephraim with an element from Reuben.
Louisiana was once French (Reuben) and I understand (from the movies?) that some French influence can still be discerned.
Nebo was also noticed in Kentucky and is found in other parts of the USA.
Ebenezer appears in the Book of Samuel.
[1-Samuel 7:2] AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHILE THE ARK ABODE IN KIRJATHJEARIM,
THAT THE TIME WAS LONG; FOR IT WAS TWENTY YEARS: AND ALL THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL LAMENTED AFTER THE LORD.

[1-Samuel 7:3] AND SAMUEL SPAKE UNTO ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, SAYING, IF YE
DO RETURN UNTO THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS, THEN PUT AWAY THE STRANGE
GODS AND ASHTAROTH FROM AMONG YOU, AND PREPARE YOUR HEARTS UNTO THE
LORD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY: AND HE WILL DELIVER YOU OUT OF THE HAND OF THE
PHILISTINES.

[1-Samuel 7:4] THEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID PUT AWAY BAALIM AND ASHTAROTH, AND SERVED THE LORD ONLY.

[1-Samuel 7:5] AND SAMUEL SAID, GATHER ALL ISRAEL TO MIZPEH, AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU UNTO THE LORD.

[1-Samuel 7:6] AND THEY GATHERED TOGETHER TO MIZPEH, AND DREW WATER, AND
POURED IT OUT BEFORE THE LORD, AND FASTED ON THAT DAY, AND SAID THERE,
WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST THE LORD. AND SAMUEL JUDGED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
IN MIZPEH.

[1-Samuel 7:7] AND WHEN THE PHILISTINES HEARD THAT THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL WERE GATHERED TOGETHER TO MIZPEH, THE LORDS OF THE PHILISTINES WENT UP
AGAINST ISRAEL. AND WHEN THE  CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HEARD IT, THEY WERE
AFRAID OF THE PHILISTINES.

[1-Samuel 7:8] AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SAID TO SAMUEL, CEASE NOT TO CRY
UNTO THE LORD OUR GOD FOR US, THAT HE WILL SAVE US OUT OF THE HAND OF THE
PHILISTINES.

[1-Samuel 7:9] AND SAMUEL TOOK A SUCKING LAMB, AND OFFERED IT FOR A
BURNT OFFERING WHOLLY UNTO THE LORD: AND SAMUEL CRIED UNTO THE LORD FOR
ISRAEL; AND THE LORD HEARD HIM.

[1-Samuel 7:10] AND AS  SAMUEL WAS OFFERING UP THE BURNT OFFERING, THE
PHILISTINES DREW NEAR TO BATTLE AGAINST ISRAEL: BUT THE LORD THUNDERED
WITH A GREAT THUNDER ON THAT DAY  UPON THE PHILISTINES, AND DISCOMFITED
THEM; AND THEY WERE SMITTEN BEFORE ISRAEL.

[1-Samuel 7:11] AND THE MEN OF ISRAEL WENT OUT OF MIZPEH, AND PURSUED THE
PHILISTINES,  AND SMOTE THEM, UNTIL THEY CAME UNDER BETHCAR.

[1-Samuel 7:12] THEN SAMUEL TOOK A STONE, AND SET IT BETWEEN MIZPEH AND
SHEN, AND CALLED THE NAME OF IT EBENEZER, SAYING, HITHERTO HATH THE LORD
HELPED US.

[1-Samuel 7:13] SO THE PHILISTINES WERE SUBDUED, AND THEY CAME NO MORE
INTO THE COAST  OF ISRAEL: AND THE HAND OF THE LORD WAS AGAINST THE
PHILISTINES ALL THE DAYS OF SAMUEL.
